Frequently asked questions
- A vectorizer is a tool that converts raster images, such as JPGs or PNGs, into scalable vector graphics (SVG) that you can edit and use across digital and print materials. Vector images are composed of points, lines, and curves defined by mathematical formulas, so they remain crisp, sharp, and high-quality at any size.
- An image vectorizer uses AI to detect colors and edges in an image, then converts them into anchor points and smooth curves. These paths recreate the image as a scalable vector graphic that you can edit without losing quality.
- Vector graphics are made of paths and can be scaled indefinitely without losing quality, making them ideal for logos and illustrations. Meanwhile, raster images are composed of pixels and can lose quality or appear pixelated when enlarged. They’re commonly used for photography and often have larger file sizes because each pixel stores more data.
